This kit includes step-by-step instructions, as well as support by email if you have questions.  I have a communications background, so I've put a lot of effort into making the instructions easy to understand.  I think this is the easiest kit to DIY available, because I'm a communicator first, and only became an amp tech later in life.  I've done a lot of DIY and Instructables, and I know what it means to have well-written, clear instructions.  

BEFORE YOU BUY, there are different versions of the Blues Deluxe amp, so there are two versions of the kit.  This kit, #1, is the more common one, but you need to order the right kit.  Because there isn't a reliable way of telling which one you have by looking at a serial number or id plate, you need to take off the back panel.  All you have to do is check the values of the big Illinois Capacitors on your board.  This kit includes 3 22uf and 1 47 uf capacitor.  If you have one of the Blues Deluxes that is built more like a Deville, you'll need some 100uf caps, so you need to go to my other listing for Blues Deluxe kit #2.

A lot of people ask about "Reissues".  If yours says "Reissue", then this is the correct kit for you.  There were some Blues Deluxes made that don't say "Reissue" that also need this kit, so you need to look inside to be sure.

Here's what's included in the standard kit:

3 replacement jacks for your inputs and the footswitch jack-- Switchcraft metal jacks that I have pre-wired for you.  These will be sturdier and last longer than the factory Fender jacks.

7 resistors-- these are higher wattage, higher quality resistors to replace the ones that are turning your circuit board brown, overheating nearby components, as well as the resistors connected directly to your output tubes.  You also get some bushings with instructions on how to attach the resistors so they have some air to help them dissipate heat

9 direct replacement diodes-- these are often overheated by the poor resistors and become unreliable, functioning just enough that they might fool your tester into believing they're still good.  

4 new high quality F&T filter capacitors that fit easily where the old ones were.  The old ones say "Illinois Capacitor" on them, but they weren't made in Illinois.  They're inferior Chinese caps which often leak yellow foamy material out the end.  This causes hum, and can eventually cause fuses blowing or even serious damage to the amp.  You'll be getting precision made German caps, the best I've ever used, they are always dead on spec with no leakage.  I have carefully put these against every other brand available, and no matter what any salesperson tells you, these are by far the lowest ESR most reliable caps available.  I've never had one fail, add hum, or be the least bit out of spec. A zip tie to replace the one you're going to cut.

You might choose to only replace some of the parts, but I find that these are enough trouble to disassemble that if I suspect a part, I just replace it.  You can always keep the parts you choose not to replace in case you need them someday.

You also get simplified instructions (no engineering or formulas) to tell you how I make these repairs when a Blues Deluxe comes into my shop.  

Tools needed:  Soldering iron (if you can control the temperature, that's best, but at least be sure it's a soldering iron for electronics), solder sucker or desoldering braid, phillips screwdriver, stubby or right angle phillips screwdriver, small flathead screwdriver, adjustable wrench (deep socket set or nut drivers are better), needlenose pliers, wire cutter, silicone caulk, bright light.

I'm going to provide you with the materials and instructions, and I do answer questions after you receive your kit, but opening up your own amp means it's your liability, I'm not responsible for any injuries to you or your amp.
